Low ($1.80/tC) Global Carbon Tax

From the inbox:

Dear John,

Global Problems Smart Solutions

Many thanks for your contribution to Global Problems Smart Solutions. The book has been recently published and the hard copy will be sent to you soon. In the meantime, I am happy to enclose the pdf version of your individual chapter on Ecosystems and Biodiversity as well as terms and conditions from the publisher.

We have used the research from Copenhagen Consensus 2012 to create a new online tool for prioritization. Please feel free to use it for your classes and seminars!

The Authors' Consensus

We asked authors of the book to rank the interventions, some of you got back and here are the informal results:

1. Reduce Chronic Undernutrition in Pre-Schoolers

2. Expanded Childhood Immunization Coverage

3. Increase Availability of Family Planning

4. Subsidy for Malaria Combination Treatment

5. Community Led Total Sanitation

6. Low ($1.80/tC) Global Carbon Tax

7. Adaptation Planning

8. Expanding Tuberculosis Treatment

9. Deworming of Schoolchildren

10. R&D to Increase Yield Enhancements

I read the terms and conditions and think I might be able to post the chapter (I'm asking permission from Cambridge Press right now). In the meantime, here is an image of the first page (click the image for full-size):

"This blog aims to look at more of the microeconomic ideas that can be used toward environmental ends. Bringing to bear a large quantity of external sources and articles, this blog presents a clear vision of what economic environmentalism can be."

Don't believe what they're saying

And allow me a quick moment to gush: ... The env-econ.net blog was more or less a lifeline in that period of my life, as it was one of the few ways I stayed plugged into the env. econ scene. -- Anonymous

... the Environmental Economics blog ... is now the default homepage on my browser (but then again, I guess I am a wonk -- a word I learned on the E.E. blog). That is a very nice service to the profession.-- Anonymous

"... I try and read the blog everyday and have pointed it out to other faculty who have their students read it for class. It is truly one of the best things in the blogosphere."-- Anonymous
